The world has been a lot quieter than usual this year due to the lack of new material released by the chaotic and often very funny iwrestledabearonce. The group did not release any new material this year, and truth be told they also managed to stay largely out of the spotlight. That is no longer the case, however, as the group behind 2013′s Late For Nothing have finally revealed their plans for the future.

Breaking their silence over Facebook with a short update for fans, iwrestledabearonce have revealed that they are already hard at work on the next studio …

When you’re listening to an album in February you may say to yourself, “THIS is my favorite album this year, definitely.” After that June comes around and you say, “No, THIS is my favorite album, hands down.” November rolls on by and you say, “Fuck all of those other albums, this is THE album of the year!” You think you have it all sorted out, then your editor asks you to put together a list of your favorite albums for the year. Well, shit.

2013 has been such a great year for music, and deciding which albums are “the best …

After touring the world for the better part of the last half decade, the members of Iwrestledabearonce have seen and done things most of us cannot begin to imagine. They’re one of the wildest bands to grace the scene in years, and today we get an inside look at their hijinks abroad thanks to a new music video.

Pieced together from footage shot on stage and behind-the-scenes of their recent world tour activities, Iwrestledabearonce have released a video for their latest Late For Nothing single, “Letters To Stallone.” The video does a fine job of blending the live clips with …

Hope you don’t mind getting weird on a Tuesday, because things are about to get a little out of hand.

Celebrating the release of their new album Late For Nothing, Iwrestledabearonce have marked the occasion by debuting their official video for “Boat Paddle.” The track, which is one of our favorites off the new album, has absolutely nothing to due with the visuals (and that’s perfectly okay). The members of IWABO are relaxing at home with plans to watch a movie when a call comes in asking them to battle an evil space overlord. Knowing they are the planet’s …

Iwrestledabearonce have spent more than half a decade redefining what it means to be an envelope pushing band in the world of metal, and to this day they still don’t take themselves all that seriously. Their new album, however, is no laughing matter. In fact, it may just be the best heavy release of the year.…

Keeping new music flowing like water, Iwrestledabearonce are streaming a new song featuring one of the greatest living music icons.

Debuting on GuitarWorld earlier today, “Carnage Asada” is the third song off August’s Late For Nothing to surface online. The song features IWBAO’s signature style of blistering riffs layered on top of pounding drums, fast-slapped bass, and screams that make your insides turn, with the additional presence of a solo contribution from the great Steve Vai. It may sound like a jarring collaboration on paper, but having had the song on repeat the last half hour I think it’s safe …

Any doubts Thursday would be worth getting out of bed for can now be put to rest. Iwrestledabearonce have released the first song from their forthcoming new album!

“Thunder Chunky” is not only the lead single off August’s Late For Nothing, it’s also the first song to surface featuring new vocalist Courtney LaPlante. In typical IWABO fashion the song starts like an explosion and rarely slows down throughout its three-and-a-half minute runtime of experimental metal antics. You can stream the song at the end of this post (spoiler alert: it’s all sorts of badass).

UTG favorites Iwrestledabearonce announced plans today to release their third full length album, Late For Nothing, on August 6 through Century Media Records. The album was self-produced, recorded, mixed and mastered by the band’s guitarist/programmer Steven Bradley at the band’s home studio in Los Angeles.

The first release since the exit of their original vocalist, Late For Nothing will double as the official introduction of Courtney LaPlante, who joined IWABO with just a day’s notice during the early days of Warped Tour 2012. Fans that saw the band at any point between last summer and now know LaPlante can …
